Bark Wreath

This was my Mud!!! Floral Art Demonstration at the Rondebosch Flower Club.
Where does mud come from? From dancing in the rain

I needed the wreath to be as light as possible to make sure it would "dance in the rain" on the flexible metal stand.
My bark wood wreath started its life as the inside fluff of two Continental pillows, sisal, wood glue, and some spectacular bark and moss.

In my tutorial you will find how I made it- only on a much smaller scale.
It took me so long to glue the tiny sections of bark to the shape that it became a standing joke in the design room that I am growing a Doughnut Tree.
